At that stage I hadn't looked in the Makefile to see that cdrkit was not an option on FreeBSD 9.0 . So far, I tried cdrecord and readcd only as root, so permissions ought not yet to be an issue. amelia2# camcontrol devlist at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,ada0) at scbus5 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,cd0) at scbus7 target 0 lun 0 (pass2,da0) at scbus7 target 0 lun 1 (pass3,ses0) at scbus8 target 0 lun 0 (da1,pass4) at scbus9 target 0 lun 0 (da2,pass5) amelia2# readcd dev=5,0,0 sectors=0-0 - readcd: Device not ready. I got same results after running "kldload atapicam". Also, cdrecord -scanbus didn't work at all. In Linux, beginning with kernel 2.6, cdrtools work with ATA or IDE CD or DVD burners without inserting a SCSI layer. Maybe I need to build and install growisofs (sysutils/dvd+rw-tools)? I have /dev/xpt0 even without "kldload atapicam", also /dev/pass*. cdrtools use "dev=n1,n2,n3", which don't have to be all zero. I had intended, and still intend, to build a Linux installation, may or may not bother with NetBSD. I want to see what Linux can do that FreeBSD can't, how and if the device drivers are superior. NetBSD has no USB 3.0 support now or in the foreseeable future, and otherwise doesn't like my hardware; I tried before installing FreeBSD. Tom
